| ESplatterLucius GoreRecommended for fans of groovy '60s and '70s, cult oddities. |
| User ReviewFredrik LWonderful, realistic tale about a modern magician, trying to become a god! |
| User ReviewLucia HProbably the best film Simon's ever done |
| User ReviewAnthony VIf you want a simple "horror" don't watch this film, or else you'll be disappointed. However if you look upon it more as a story telling things "as they were" then you far less likely to be disappointed. So what with the "dodgy" special effects, and early 70s issues with sexuallity. It's full of humour, and very clever/subtle observations on the Magical "scene" of the late 60s/early 70 It's a great shame, that (as far as I know) it hasn't be re-released on DVD for the British market (apparently you can get it in the States). It should be known of far more widely (at least within TODAYS Pagan circles), as it's plot/content is so much better than a good many latter films(including the Wicker Man!) |
| User ReviewJackson SBeyond brilliant. ELECTRIC! MAGNETIC! ELECTRIC! MAGNETIC! |
| User ReviewJason CA weird drama featuring a "male witch" who gets mixed up with hippies and some squares who doubt his powers. Andrew Prine is awesome in the title role. |
| User ReviewRick Zi admit i was interested in this movie because the mars volta used the poster for a shirt design. but after watching it i was quite impressed. magnetic CHARGE. electric CHARGE. |
| User ReviewVan MMore psychedelic satire than horror, and absolutely pitch-perfect in its depiction of a basement dwelling warlock hanging out and hexing with a bunch of '70s California hipsters. |
| User ReviewJenna IFun and "groovy" 70's witch flick. Not really a horror film, but with some horror trappings. Surprising darkly comedic touches throughout. Andrew Prine's performance as Simon really caries the film. |
| User ReviewRick DFairly hilarious dark comedy which satirizes both hipster witchcraft and the conventions of supernatural cinema. Simon starts out living in a storm drain, aspiring to godhood while easily impressing his swinging, clueless hustler buddy. Andrew Prine is pretty fun as the bemused, verbose lead, and wreaks a vague vengeance on the contemptuous squares who try to bring him and his down. There's a ridiculous black mass led by Ultra Violet, interrupted by Simon and his horndog pal. Then, a couple of silly magic rod charging rituals on Simon's behalf. The first of which fails due to excess lust, which is corrected by the substitution of a campy yet game homosexual as the electric/magnetic element. The whole thing has an intentionally absurd self-importance, with timely anti-establishment and pro-experimentation overtones. But the script is very amusing, and Prine's performance is so loonily self-assured that it carries along well. |
